Geoff

He didn't live up to expectations and was a .500 coach when he was let go. There was an opportunity to bring the old coach back as things hadn't worked out at his new job and he had been scouting for Edmonton. After his return, the team went 12-6-1 with a roster that really didn't have too many changes. I like Kevin and think he'll do a great job with his new team but I don't think he is cut out or just wasn't ready for the pro game yet.

I don't know if it was intentional or not but I was essentially subtweeted in an article in the local paper. The owner of the team I used to work more made it seem as though he made a staff change because I couldn't get the job done but of course he didn't mention the part about how severely handcuffed I was due to him not providing me with stuff I needed to get my job done. Despite all that I still got a hell of a lot done and my friends who still work for the team have told him, in nicer terms, he was an idiot for cutting me loose. Oh, and the main part of the article was talking about the app the team is rolling out soon. An idea I've been pushing for since I was an intern ... in 2011.

Jesus Christ, kid. Stop while you're only 100 feet underground.

Wut ... I ... screw it, it's not worth it.

I was at that game in Arlington when we played Okie State. These gold numbers were damn near impossible to read under the lights. ----- I'd just like to remind everyone that he and his ideas are not representative of FSU fans as a whole.

Nah, it's not Grand Canyon. Looks the Horizon League is heading into beautiful Indianapolis. They've invited IUPUI. They're replacing northeast Indiana but not quite Chicago with Indianapolis. Even though this isn't really about TV viewers, it's an upgrade in locale.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE. The owner says he's designed the logo himself. H/T to MaconHockeyFan on SPHLForums.com

I've seen others say cell phone company

I never heard of (or don't remember) any legal issues with their newest logo. It doesn't matter anyway, it was confirmed that Cottonmouths franchise is now Birmingham and this will be a new franchise altogether. And it's uh ... it's a name... and that's a logo...

It looks like we'll have another new logo for minor league hockey in Columbus, Ga., starting in 2018-19. http://wrbl.com/2017/06/20/new-owner-purchasing-columbus-pro-hockey-affiliation-from-sphl/ This article makes it seem as though this is the same franchise as the Cottonmouths but that the now former owners do not wish to give up the branding.

Might be named the Maine Mariners. That was the name when the Flyers were first involved with Portland.

It's not that there weren't enough cities. Kunlun Red Star (no S) were starting a women's team as well as a second men's team. They hired Digit Murphy last season to guide them in the process and select a league they would join. The Russian Women's league doesn't have teams in the Far East and the quality isn't as high as the NWHL/CWHL. So if you're going to fly forever to play away games, you might as well go with the higher quality of play. Especially when your goal is to improve the level of women's hockey before the 2022 Beijing games. They haven't said how much they paid but they made sure to let it be known they paid a fairly hefty expansion fee.

1. "I actually like the Webfoots uniforms as a one off type thing." 2. "Wouldn't mind seeing those stick around in the future."

Mike, you can't use logic. The NHL's intentions and how they view the two markets are crystal clear even if they refuse to admit or even refute them. They see Korea as providing virtually nil while China has the largest population in the world and chief rival, the KHL, is already making inroads. The nation as a whole has a hunger for sports and is getting more and more into western/team sports. It has very little established hockey culture and the NHL basically want to indoctrinate them.

The would be the other recently successful minor league (and my) team, the Pensacola Ice Flyers: 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2015-16. Maybe that's where you got it.
